<div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Hi, crazy as it sounds with everything more serious going on, that was the first question I asked my endo! I'm not able to function without my morning coffee. Lol. My endo said that powdered creamer was fine. My big tip??? I put a Baggie in my purse with some creamer so if I'm out and need a cup of coffee (like all the time). I order it black and put my own stuff in it. Weirdly enough for someone who likes her coffee pretty white, the other day I forgot my Baggie and got a cup of black coffee with 2 sugars. Darned if it wasn't pretty good!!! I'm on day 3 of this diet. So far so good although I did snarf a crouton from the hubby's salad by habit but spit it out when he yelled at me to drop it. Now I know what the puppy feels like! Lol. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>Namaste,</p>

<div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>One source of iodine in milk may be the udder wash, but the diet fed to milk producing cows also factors into the iodine content. A dab in coffee is probably not too bad since it is a low-not-no iodine diet. Just wouldn't advocate using much dairy while on the LID regardless of the feed and caring of the cows.</p>
<p>From thyca.org: "Dairy products (milk, cheese, cream, yogurt, butter, ice cream, powdered dairy creamers, whey, casein, other dairy products). Note: Nondairy creamers often have iodine-containing ingredients, too. A study published in 2004 in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism reported on tests of 18 brands of milk in the Boston, Massachusetts area. It reported that 250 ml of milk (about 8 ounces, or 1 cup, or 16 Tablespoons) contained from 88 to 168 micrograms of iodine and averaged 115 mcg. It noted that sources of iodine in milk include iodine in cattle feed, the products containing iodine used to clean teats and udders, and a small amount from equipment cleaning products."</p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_forbidden first last"><span><a href="/user/login?destination=node/226537%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/user/register?destination=node/226537%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</span></li>

<div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>thank you Forme... that is good information.</p>
<p>another reason they say no for milk is cows get salt licks and some of them have iodine in them or are sea salt. </p>
<p>I have also found if you call the makers of products a lot of times they have no clue why you would need to know so it may not be the correct answer either cause they just don't know that some process has iodine.</p>
<p>this info might also be something to mention to the people at thyca.org for there LID it might give them another way to modify the diet to make it easier on us.</p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_forbidden first last"><span><a href="/user/login?destination=node/226537%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/user/register?destination=node/226537%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</span></li>

<div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Hi Mark,</p>
<p>I love and need my coffee with cream. I did a lot of research and called many local organic dairys. I talked to the folks there and asked about what is used to wash the cows teets. Most dairys use iodine, which is why the LID says no dairy.<br />
The folks at Clover Organic Dairy do not wash the cows with iodine. So I felt fine with using their half and half in my coffee. I also had a bowl of rice krispies with their 1% organic milk. Organic Yogurt too. Whole Foods carries this dairy brand, just be sure to get the Clover Organics, since they also carry other Clover dairy brands. BTW, Whole Foods has the most items without iodine. Including frozen waffels and many other items. Helpful if you don't do much cooking.<br />
I am sure that there are Whole Foods stores in Marin and the surrounding areas.<br />
Good luck with the diet.</p></div></div></div><ul class="links inline"><li class="comment_forbidden first last"><span><a href="/user/login?destination=node/226537%23comment-form">Log in</a> or <a href="/user/register?destination=node/226537%23comment-form">register</a> to post comments</span></li>
